A DLL side loading vulnerability was found in the COM+ Services component that ships with Windows. This issue can be exploited by loading the QC Queue Administration Class as an embedded OLE object. When instantiating the object Windows will try to load the DLL mqrt.dll from the current working directory. If an attacker convinces the user to open a specially crafted (Office) document from a directory also containing the attacker's DLL file, it is possible to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the target user. This can potentially result in the attacker taking complete control of the affected system.

Abstract
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A DLL side loading vulnerability was found in the COM+ Services
component that ships with Windows. This issue can be exploited by
loading the QC Queue Administration Class as an embedded OLE object.
When instantiating the object Windows will try to load the DLL mqrt.dll
from the current working directory. If an attacker convinces the user to
open a specially crafted (Office) document from a directory also
containing the attacker's DLL file, it is possible to execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the target user. This can potentially result
in the attacker taking complete control of the affected system.
